NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020
IQB Debt Midco Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales, registration number 10449628. The registered office is 24 Savile Row, London, W1S 2ES.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
These financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
|
Compliance with accounting standards
|
The financial statements have been prepared using FRS102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the republic of Ireland, including the disclosure and presentation requirements of Section 1A, applicable to small companies. There were no material departures from this standard.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Company is profit making and it is in a net asset position at the year end having generated sufficient cash from its operations to meet its liabilities as they fall due. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation, the Directors have taken into account the key risks of the business, including the uncertainty in relation to the impact of COVID-19. In doing so the Directors have considered the Company's business model and availability of cash resources. The Company is part of a financing structure, the underlying loans structured to ensure that actual cash inflows from the loan debtor exceed the Company's cash outflows to service the loan creditor and overheads over the loan term. The Directors have prepared financial models over the life of the loan which support this position. Having undertaken this assessment the Directors consider that the Company will continue to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its liabilities as they fall due for payment and it is therefore appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest payable is recognised using the effective interest method, which takes into account related fees and transaction costs. Interest payable is included within cost of sales as it is directly attributable to the interest receivable included in revenue.
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income and retained earnings.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
Tax is recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience, independent forecasts and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The loan interest receivable and payable calculations and the amortised cost balances for other fixed loans receivable and payable assume that all future loan capital and interest receipts and payments will be in accordance with the current loan agreements for the remaining loan term.
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption not to disclose amounts paid for non audit services as these are disclosed in the group accounts of the parent company.
There were no employees in the year under review apart from the directors who did not receive any remuneration.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020
In the prior year loan fees of £728,308 were presented as a prepayment and amortised over the loan term. In the current year this amount has been adjusted against the related loan balance.

Related party transactions
|
|
|
The Company is exempt under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) paragraph 33.1A, from disclosing related party transactions with other group companies, on the grounds that the Company is wholly owned within the Group and the Company is included in consolidated financial statements prepared by the Group.
|
The Company's immediate parent company is GCP Biogas 2 Limited, a company registered in England and Wales. The ultimate parent undertaking is GCP Intermediary Holdings Limited. The consolidated financial statements of GCP Intermediary Holdings Limited may be obtained from Companies House or its registered office 24 Savile Row, London, W1S 2ES.
The Company is itself a subsidiary company and is exempt from the requirement to prepare group financial statements by virtue of section 400 of the Companies Act 2006. These financial statements therefore present information about the Company as an individual undertaking and not about its group.
Subsequent to the year end global economies have been impacted as a result of the COVID-19 virus epidemic. The resolution and impact on the business and wider economy at this stage is uncertain, but the directors having assessed the impact and risk of the current market conditions on the Company do believe these will not have any material impact on the Company. Details of the directors going concern assessment is set out in note 2.3.
The auditors' report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 was unqualified.
The audit report was signed on 18 March 2021 by Mark Nelligan FCA (senior statutory auditor) on behalf of Wellden Turnbull Limited.
